São Bento Station in Porto, Portugal, is known as the most beautiful station in the world.✨The station interior, filled with azulejos, is a beautiful and wonderful space.😌💓It's a must-see spot for sightseeing in Porto! -----------------------------I didn't use the train, but I visited it twice during my stay.🥰The first time was in the evening, and the second time was around noon.🫶There were no lights inside the station, and the only light was from the sunlight coming in through the windows, so I was able to take brighter photos during the day.📸 São Bento Station is close to the downtown area of ​​Porto, and it is often recommended to stay in a hotel in this area because it is convenient for sightseeing. However, hotels around here are generally expensive and lively until late at night, and there are many roads currently under construction, so I personally don't recommend it.😌 If you can walk, I recommend staying in a hotel in another area and going sightseeing! (You can easily get around by walking, bus, or Uber 🫶) Tips for solo travelers✍️-----------------------------Anyway, there are a lot of tourists, so it's easy to ask someone to take a photo for you 🥰❤️I happened to meet a girl there and we were taking photos of each other, and someone offered to take a photo of us together ☺️Recommended points❤️-----------------------------✅ You can enjoy the most beautiful station in the world for free! ✅ It's easy to take photos because there are a lot of tourists ✅ There's a lot to see up to the ceiling, so it's recommended to take your time looking around instead of just taking photos! Points to be careful of⚠️-----------------------------I think some people might think that the thumbnail photos are a little pale... but this isn't photo editing, it's really pale 🫢I was also shocked that the color was different from what I saw on SNS at first...! To protect the tiles, some of the azulejos had a thin gauze-like material stuck all over them, so there were only a few places where you could see the beautiful blue. 😭 The second photo shows the original color of the azulejos...! Also, construction work is being carried out around the station, so the roads are a bit rough.
